TREATMENT OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IS OFTEN AS IGNORANT, CRUEL AND IDIOTIC AS ATTITUDES IN MEDIEVAL TIMES

FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TO THE PLAYHOUSE, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES STILL ARE EXCLUDED FROM DAILY LIFE

Compared to (deserved) gains in civil rights, respect and standing in society for people of color, women, LBGTQ community, etc….people with disabilities are a century behind.

Gains in acceptance & respect by those other groups warm my heart each day.

Society’s ignorance, intolerance and ugly treatment of people with disabilities breaks it.

My wife, wheelchair user, attended a concert with me Oct. 13 at the Fillmore Miami Beach.

Multiple times, the usher asked her if she could walk and (in an annoyed manner) told her he didn't know where to seat her if she couldn't.

City facility needs to re-train its people.

An usher saying a wheelchair user must walk to a seat down steps is just as inappropriate & offensive as asking a black person to turn white, an LBGTQ person to turn straight, a Jewish person to turn Gentile -- to be seated in the city facility.

Being inappropriate and offensive to a disabled person is every bit as wrong as being outwardly bigoted toward race, religion & orientation.
